Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports Readio Network alongside Frankie Stamford. I
Speaker 1: am Greg Sussman. Fregg. What's going on? Man, Freggy? There
Speaker 1: is a ton going on. First of all, how was
Speaker 1: your weekend? Um? Think it was good. I think it
Speaker 1: was good. We did some venue shopping on Saturday. Ready, Yeah, there,
Speaker 1: you waste no time these places book up, I've been told. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then I spent the rest of the weekend at
Speaker 1: my dad's relaxing. Oh at Rob Susman's Yes, where he
Speaker 1: owns the beach. He does not own a beach. He
Speaker 1: lives on a beach. He lives on a bay. Yes,
Speaker 1: sure it was great. It was it was nice, It
Speaker 1: was very relaxed. Was great. Uh, now you know today
Speaker 1: I walked in, I was a bit more stressed, to
Speaker 1: be honest with you. Um, but I'm here. It's best friends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we are best friends. But Frank, sometimes you stressed me
Speaker 1: out a little bit more. Me Yeah, what did I do?
Speaker 1: You didn't do anything this morning or even very helpful
Speaker 1: this morning. Actually, sometimes like sometimes you're just like the week,
Speaker 1: this is not happening, and you get upset because there's
Speaker 1: just a lot of work to come, and it just
Speaker 1: it stresses me out more. All you've done today has
Speaker 1: been extremely helpful. So thank you appreciated. How was your weekend?
Speaker 1: It was good. Friday it was a roller coaster of
Speaker 1: a weekend, I'll put it that way. Friday I went
Speaker 1: to the Yankee game. That was a great time, probably
Speaker 1: the best game they played in a while. Was very
Speaker 1: back and forth. They ended up winning. It was great. Yes. Saturday, Um,
Speaker 1: I thought I was contracting hand, foot and mouth disease. Really, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was terrible. Um, what made you believe that you
Speaker 1: were contracting this. So my niece actually has it and
Speaker 1: we were walking two we were walking together and she
Speaker 1: was in the carriage. And then Saturday night I had
Speaker 1: a fever. My throat hurt, like this is happening for sure.
Speaker 1: I was getting ready to text you like, Greg, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna be here this week. I have handfoot and
Speaker 1: mouth disease, like I'm dying. I was freaking out. So
Speaker 1: day I woke up, I was perfectly fine. So I
Speaker 1: don't know where I got a fever and uh and
Speaker 1: a sore throat from, but it went away, so that
Speaker 1: was good. And then Sunday I had an NFFC draft
Speaker 1: and yesterday I went to the beach. It was it
Speaker 1: was very up and down weekend. It sounds like it
Speaker 1: was a good time, feeling well, there's one more thing
Speaker 1: this morning, I'll might ride in. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: pretty much status quo for like writing the m T
Speaker 1: a subway system in New York City. Um, but somebody
Speaker 1: put their arm up to grab the poll to like
Speaker 1: hold on. And I don't know if you remember the commercial,
Speaker 1: but there was a commercial with Michael Strahan. He made
Speaker 1: a put in golf and like put his arms up
Speaker 1: celebrating and like the whole craft passed out. That was this,
Speaker 1: that was this greg And at some point in adulthood
Speaker 1: you need to realize that if you're a stinky person,
Speaker 1: like a genuinely stinky person, it happens like I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: If you are a stinky person, you should probably admit
Speaker 1: these things, like there are things that we do that
Speaker 1: we admit. You know, people might not like it, like
Speaker 1: do too too, it might get into some people's skin.
Speaker 1: We love it, No, we love it great, We love it.
Speaker 1: We can acknowledge, we can acknowledge that, you know, some
Speaker 1: people might get piste off by it. If you're a
Speaker 1: stinky person at the time you hit adulthood, you should
Speaker 1: know that, and you should put an extra deodora. So
Speaker 1: I gotta say not not put on deodora. That is
Speaker 1: the opposite of what you should do on a ninety
Speaker 1: degree day in the New York City subway system, because
Speaker 1: that to get that off my chest. Do you feel
Speaker 1: better a little bit? You look, you looked very refreshed.
Speaker 1: To be honestly, do you feel great that? I don't
Speaker 1: feel great. I woke up, I'm tired, and I went
Speaker 1: to sleep early last night. I don't understand the way
Speaker 1: that the world works. Greg, it's week one, it's week one,
Speaker 1: it's week one. Can tell you about my issue? What's up?
Speaker 1: So I have an issue with RCN Cable, who obviously
Speaker 1: has our our channel on their network on their provider.
Speaker 1: I should say I have the fantasy best Friends forever
Speaker 1: every day on my DVR. Right, we know this because
Speaker 1: I have our CN. So our CN jacked up my
Speaker 1: prices telling you after a year, so year two they
Speaker 1: jack it up. So I have a way around this.
Speaker 1: I changed ownerships to my roommate. It happens to be
Speaker 1: now my fiance, but whatever, it would be the same.
Speaker 1: Referred to Judy as your roommate it because it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter that it's my fiance. It matters that it's just
Speaker 1: another person. Right, So if you change ownership, they treated
Speaker 1: as a new client, which means you get that first
Speaker 1: year deal again. So cable goes way down. I know
Speaker 1: you don't, you don't. We're talking about cable in the past.
Speaker 1: So I still pay for cable and I literally saved
Speaker 1: like fifty bucks a month by doing that. Great awesome,
Speaker 1: So we did it on Friday after work. I went home.
Speaker 1: I had a whole list of stuff I needed to
Speaker 1: do and that was on it. So I changed over
Speaker 1: our cable. So yesterday she turned on The Bachelom in Paradise.
Speaker 1: I got to watch Better Call Saul in our in
Speaker 1: our bedroom because you know whatever, she wants to watch
Speaker 1: the Bachelom. When the night fine whatever says, your cat's
Speaker 1: been deactivated. You know, please call our CNN callar Cianna
Speaker 1: explained exactly what happened. Please just reactivate my bedroom box.
Speaker 1: You couldn't do it. I don't know what do you
Speaker 1: mean you couldn't do it? You you you did this?
Speaker 1: Why couldn't you just un can't do it? I don't
Speaker 1: I don't understand. The earliest they can have somebody in
Speaker 1: my apartment to manually do whatever they have to do Friday,
Speaker 1: so I go, I will not be paying for my
Speaker 1: TV this week then, and it was a huge upper.
Speaker 1: They hung up on me one one time. I'm very upset,
Speaker 1: very angry at Arcin. Right now, you're an email Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: email writing Gregg salesman. I do have to you know,
Speaker 1: somebody else, but it's side the point I enjoyed that
Speaker 1: you're not afraid to speak my mind. Yeah, like when
Speaker 1: you are wronged, and like whether it's a restaurant or
Speaker 1: like a waiter or something like that, you you're gonna
Speaker 1: give him a piece of your mind, Gregg, shouldn't you.
Speaker 1: I'm paying a service. My service should be provided correctly.
Speaker 1: If I was in a restaurant, I'm paying for a meal,
Speaker 1: I want it correctly. You know what I mean? I
Speaker 1: want it hot? You know all right? People, Greg is
Speaker 1: fired up on a Tuesday's Arc and Cable. I agree
Speaker 1: with you that you should if you pay for something,
Speaker 1: you should get what you pay for. I agree with
Speaker 1: you for that. Sometimes I just don't have it in
Speaker 1: and sometimes I mean, like most of the time, I'm
Speaker 1: just not, like naturally not a confrontational person, so I
Speaker 1: don't I don't really go out of my way to
Speaker 1: like argue stuff, although there are times where I look
Speaker 1: back in hind said, I'm like, you know, I should
Speaker 1: have done that. I just don't have it in me.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have it though, You have the trade, and
Speaker 1: you should boast that trade. You let football people here
Speaker 1: only to ten minutes. Alright, let's get right, let's get
Speaker 1: right into the football, because we are live this weekend.
Speaker 1: The NFL will gets on this weekend two days away.
Speaker 1: Thursday night football were together. We are together watch together
Speaker 1: one time. Very exciting al right around here too, which
Speaker 1: is cool? Is it? I don't even know where it is.
Speaker 1: I know that I just didn't know where. The new
Speaker 1: location much closer to here, alright, So Thursday I feel
Speaker 1: pole we're watching together. It's a falcon's in the Eagles.
Speaker 1: But before that, we're gonna treat this like a regular week.
Speaker 1: We decided other than tomorrow, we're doing what we're doing.
Speaker 1: Corey Favor basically, we're making our show to help his
Speaker 1: show makes sense him. I would want to do that
Speaker 1: as well. I agree they need to help. But nevertheless,
Speaker 1: today and the rest of the week, we're treating this
Speaker 1: like a normal week. So on Tuesdays we would do
Speaker 1: waiver wire, right like we would think of who is
Speaker 1: available on the waiver wire for you to pick up
Speaker 1: as you get ready for week one, because people are
Speaker 1: having their week one waiver wires go through tomorrow, I
Speaker 1: believe right like we're talking about flexikers through tomorrow. Is
Speaker 1: it not a lot of waivers? I know my Home
Speaker 1: League waiver I opened it up. The fat process will
Speaker 1: run tonight evernight, so ye do as well? Um, I
Speaker 1: think flex is like Wednesdays like eight pm. Oh, Wednesday
Speaker 1: nights or Tuesday's at eight pm. I don't know. Check
Speaker 1: it out. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's like it's either
Speaker 1: at night or during the day, like if you noon
Speaker 1: or a PM. It's not overnight. I have a lot
Speaker 1: of money on a FLEX that I've been a ready
Speaker 1: dropping it all down. We'll see how it works at
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about those waiver wire guys were also,
Speaker 1: of course on Tuesday's we'll get even talk about the
Speaker 1: updated headlines each and every day. You'll you have the
Speaker 1: Monday morning quarterbacking essentially and then Tuesday practice. Practice usually
Speaker 1: start Wednesday for players, but we'll get certain injury updates,
Speaker 1: and that's how we're gonna begin today's show with those
Speaker 1: injury updates, specifically with a guy that Frank believe couldn't
Speaker 1: stay healthy this year, and that was Jerick McKinnon. He
Speaker 1: he couldn't stay healthy through a practice. Unfortunately, of course,
Speaker 1: Niers kick off on Sunday afternoon. Jerick McKinnon, on the
Speaker 1: last rep of practice only fell to the ground as
Speaker 1: his knee went the wrong way he tore out as
Speaker 1: only as a c L but there's other stuff torn
Speaker 1: in there as well. Jerry McKinnon will now hope to
Speaker 1: be ready to go for next season. Jerry McKinnon out
Speaker 1: for the year for San Francisco just days before the
Speaker 1: season began, which means the next man up is who
Speaker 1: Matt Brita, who Frank all along and said may have
Speaker 1: more fantasy points in Jeri mckinnidams here now, um that
Speaker 1: Rita steps up, Alfred more steps up. These are the
Speaker 1: two guys that you need to know. Which role would
Speaker 1: you rather own? Frank, Yeah, I think this is this
Speaker 1: is a tough call here, and I think there's gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot of splitting. And I will say this
Speaker 1: just to start off, we're talking about Week one. I
Speaker 1: don't know that I want either one in my lineup
Speaker 1: in Week one because they're going up against the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1: We know how great their run defense was last year.
Speaker 1: What do they do to that defense? They added Sheldon
Speaker 1: Richardson to clog up the middle even more so, I
Speaker 1: expect this run defense to be very very strong once
Speaker 1: again this year. So I don't want to start either one.
Speaker 1: You definitely both guys need to be added. If I
Speaker 1: had to choose one, I think ultimately Alfred Morris is
Speaker 1: gonna be the starter for this team. But I could
Speaker 1: see no one series for this guy. One series for
Speaker 1: this guy. It could be a game to game, uh
Speaker 1: kind of You know what I said about the forty
Speaker 1: Niners all long is that I think it was gonna
Speaker 1: be frustrating. You wouldn't know week in and week out
Speaker 1: who it was gonna be. I still kind of feel
Speaker 1: that way. But with that being said, you know, Jerick
Speaker 1: mc and it was a third, fourth round pick. Now
Speaker 1: you're getting these guys off the waiver wire, Alfred Morris,
Speaker 1: even Kyle Uschek, who we think we need to talk
Speaker 1: about this morning because there's a chance that he leads
Speaker 1: this team in receptions out out of the running back
Speaker 1: position because Matt Breeda didn't catch the ball all that
Speaker 1: much in college. On Alfred Morris, we know, you know,
Speaker 1: dating back to his days with Washington, just never has
Speaker 1: been a big pass catcher. Greg I actually had a
Speaker 1: stat of the day today. You didn't throw to it,
Speaker 1: but I will reveal it to you anyway, and involves
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris. His average season in the two years he
Speaker 1: played under Kyle Shanahan as his O C in Washington.
Speaker 1: Three hundred and five attempts, fourteen hundred and forty four
Speaker 1: rushing yards, ten touchdowns, ten receptions per year, seventy seven
Speaker 1: receiving yards per per year. He finished RB six in
Speaker 1: twelve RB eighteen, and that's an average finish of RB
Speaker 1: twelve overall. I think he's the guy. I still want
Speaker 1: to own Matt Brida as well, just on that off
Speaker 1: chance that he's the guy. But Alfred Morris knows this system,
Speaker 1: He's familiar with Kyle Shanahan. Um this offensive line seems
Speaker 1: to be improved. Alfred Morris impressing that final preseason game
Speaker 1: as well. UM, so I think earlier. I think the
Speaker 1: easy answer is I think a lot of early downs
Speaker 1: and goal line work goes to Alfred Morris and then
Speaker 1: like change of pace stuff maybe um like past catching.
Speaker 1: It's either going to be Matt Brida or Kyle Uscheck.
Speaker 1: But if I had to choose one, it will be
Speaker 1: Alfred more But I do think both guys should be owned. Greg. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I've said it. This is the beginning of Art
Speaker 1: mckinn argument we had last week, right, Like I want
Speaker 1: the San Francisco running back. And I think it's it
Speaker 1: is clear now. Albreda was never exactly a pass catching
Speaker 1: running back by any means um in in in college,
Speaker 1: and he kind of fell into that role last year.
Speaker 1: He is theoretically the Vin Coleman in this offense. That
Speaker 1: is his role. Alviren Morris, I believe, will be the
Speaker 1: Davante Freeman, the the gold line plunger, will be the
Speaker 1: big back. He's going to get every opportunity to succeed. Now,
Speaker 1: if I had to choose one, it's Alfred Morris. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe we'll see more of Kyle us Check. I think
Speaker 1: we saw it. We felt last year we see more
Speaker 1: of Kyle Ucheck. We didn't. That's why I'm not really
Speaker 1: know the u Check bandwagon. Um, But I mean, Brita
Speaker 1: is it Tevin Coleman? Like if you were drafting today,
Speaker 1: I would draft Brita Where you draft Kevin Coleman. I
Speaker 1: think that's fair. If you're drafting today, where would you
Speaker 1: draft Alfred Morris? So I moved both of these running
Speaker 1: backs inside my top thirty five? Is that crazy? Do
Speaker 1: you draft? But like just inside? I mean look at
Speaker 1: my rank because I don't pull this up, aliund. You know,
Speaker 1: if you put them inside the top thirty, then you
Speaker 1: start to move them ahead of guys like harry On
Speaker 1: Johnson and Jamal Williams and that range. I don't feel
Speaker 1: comfortable doing that. I have them, I have Alfred Morrison
Speaker 1: the same range as I do Adrian Peterson and Peyton
Speaker 1: Barber and Chris Carson and guys like that who are
Speaker 1: like the starters for their teams, but they're like questionable
Speaker 1: starters for their teams. If that makes sense, great, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think they are. As I look at my rankings,
Speaker 1: they're they're top thirty guys for sure. To both of them,
Speaker 1: they are. I don't think there's any doubt about that.
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I just think it could
Speaker 1: be a somewhat frustrating situation. I'm literally up the amou
Speaker 1: nanking staid have a draft to night, So I'm doing
Speaker 1: this right now. Do you want to wait to talk
Speaker 1: about how much fab you want to spend on these guys?
Speaker 1: Are you know we're talking about do it? Do it
Speaker 1: right now? With Alfred Morris mat Preader out there, how
Speaker 1: much you're spending So basically, if if a top thirty
Speaker 1: running back was out there, how much would you spend,
Speaker 1: Like if a if a Peyton Barber or a Chris
Speaker 1: Carson or Adrian Peterson or even guys who are ranked
Speaker 1: just above that, how much would you spend for that
Speaker 1: player to get him. I think Matt Brita is universally
Speaker 1: owned already, he's owning seventy four percent of the leagues.
Speaker 1: He might be out there, but Alfred Morris is only
Speaker 1: owned in so he's still out there. And you know
Speaker 1: about forty of leagues is according to CBS ownership. If
Speaker 1: you really want them, I could go as high as
Speaker 1: but the number that stood out in my mind where
Speaker 1: I'm gonna feel what I'm gonna feel comfortable spending on
Speaker 1: him is probably not gonna get him. The number him
Speaker 1: in my mind also, and that is because it seems
Speaker 1: similar number they're giving you the Adrian Peterson right like
Speaker 1: that is some kind of the same spot with a
Speaker 1: P and Alfred Morris. I have to ask you that
Speaker 1: it's it's not just similar because you have a big
Speaker 1: back in a P and Alfred Morris passing down back
Speaker 1: and Chris Thompson and Matt Brida. Theoretically, now, if you
Speaker 1: have to choose one of these guys who would you
Speaker 1: rather own that. I'm not Mad Brida, Alfred Morris, or
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson or Matt Braid. I'll throw all you've already
Speaker 1: said Morris over Breda. So I still have Adrian Peterson
Speaker 1: ranked the highest of this career. I think it's very close, though.
Speaker 1: I think again, like you said, there's a lot of similarities.
Speaker 1: But I like Washington's offensive line. I know they've been
Speaker 1: banged up the past couple of years, but when healthy,
Speaker 1: they have a very strong unit. I like the forty
Speaker 1: Niners as well. I just think I think roles are
Speaker 1: to find a little bit more so in Washington. I
Speaker 1: don't think the team trust Robert Kelly at all. I
Speaker 1: don't think they trust some j. P Ryn. I think
Speaker 1: it's Adrian Peterson early downs, Adrian Peterson in the red zone,
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson's gonna get his you know, eight to twelve
Speaker 1: touches as well, especially in the passing game. But I
Speaker 1: think I trust Adrian Peterson a little bit more for consistency,
Speaker 1: whereas with the forty Niners, I could see it being
Speaker 1: one game, this guy, one game, this guy one series,
Speaker 1: this guy maybe a little bit more inconsistent, but it's close.
Speaker 1: I love I love this. He's just like fat Robbi
Speaker 1: the starting running back on this. Yeah, and then I
Speaker 1: eat my words. Yeah exactly. I think it's really really close.
Speaker 1: I think both of them, that they're both available on
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. I think you put the same amountain
Speaker 1: on it. Um, everybody knows when love with San Francisco
Speaker 1: hand system and the offensive line there, I think it's
Speaker 1: very very strong. Um. I think it's hard. I think
Speaker 1: it's really really hard. But I'll say this, I'm always
Speaker 1: try to to recommend to people to be super aggressive
Speaker 1: early when they do a fab. These are two spots
Speaker 1: right now that a potential to be helping for sixteen weeks.
Speaker 1: Not guys, you're not guys are speculating on later on.
Speaker 1: I know you want to save that fab for what
Speaker 1: could come next. These two guys are here right now
Speaker 1: and they can be helpful all year long. A p
Speaker 1: I'll boost a little bit up. I think if you
Speaker 1: really want Alfred Morris that eighteen to range a little bit,
Speaker 1: and if you were a jerk McKinnon owner, you have
Speaker 1: to go over for Alfred Moores. Let's take a break here,
Speaker 1: when don't we come back. We haven't touched on Levy
Speaker 1: on Bell at all, and and the holdout and him
Speaker 1: not being there because we didn't think it mattered. Well,
Speaker 1: we're five days away from the started off Steeler season
Speaker 1: at least time to say it might matter. Leave on
Speaker 1: Bell and if we're worried about him when we come
Speaker 1: back next. On the Fantasy Sports Rainio network from the

Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the one on Fantasy Factor. I usually
Speaker 1: jump in, probably like a few other random ones that
Speaker 1: I could just find on the internet. I paid for
Speaker 1: one over the weekend for a hundred bucks or whatever.
Speaker 1: I never have one that I paid for it though, true,
Speaker 1: but I do play for sure. I paid for one
Speaker 1: a hundred bucks. Um, these are two thousand people in

Speaker 1: um give me a quick look. Well, analyze is more.
Speaker 1: This will also be a thing Durrett for us during
Speaker 1: the week where we kind of take a look at
Speaker 1: some of the um top games on the board and
Speaker 1: where our heads are at. I guess my top game
Speaker 1: right now would be Baltimore at home against Buffalo. Does
Speaker 1: that make sense? That makes sense. They're they're one of
Speaker 1: the biggest favorites right now to their their minus seven
Speaker 1: and a half, the only one the biggest favorites. This week,
Speaker 1: Saint set minus ten home in the Dome against Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: in the books. That's good too, though, Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: not it's a good one. But I think you'll be
Speaker 1: able to find another game throughout the year that you'll
Speaker 1: like to use the Saints. I don't normally care about
Speaker 1: the next time they play Tampa. I don't normally care
Speaker 1: about that so much. I just want to win now
Speaker 1: and just get out. I think, I lean. I feel
Speaker 1: very good about Baltimore in Baltimore, like give me Peterman,
Speaker 1: Like I'll face Peterman. You know what I mean. There's
Speaker 1: nothing more Buffalo Bills than they just released a a
Speaker 1: Nate peter in hype up start like QB one starting
Speaker 1: video on their on their Twitter. Did not hide me up. Sorry,
Speaker 1: oh you Buffalo Bills stands out there. Sorry Florio, Sorry Florio.
Speaker 1: We didn't even text him. We should have been like
Speaker 1: our condolences on season. Saw an interesting tweet to Um
Speaker 1: and Mike Leoni actually retreated and it was like, this
Speaker 1: is my nightmare, is that the Bills are just dreadful
Speaker 1: this year. Right, they have a top three pick next year, Right,
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to draft the next best quarterback, right,
Speaker 1: and they don't because they just drafted Josh Allen will
Speaker 1: be good? I mean maybe, yeah, there's certainly a chance,
Speaker 1: you know, you know who will need a quarterback, the Giants,
Speaker 1: But you know they're gonna win ten games. According to
Speaker 1: Chris Ventum, the Giants. Giants are such a disaster this weekend, man,
Speaker 1: they were like an absolute disaster, like everything they did
Speaker 1: cuts and stuff. Dude, they cut their backup quarterback for
Speaker 1: no reason. They kept four quarterbacks on the rostera on Saturday,
Speaker 1: and they got David's web The guy has been number
Speaker 1: two all all summer. Of course, David's Webb was the
Speaker 1: reason we did They didn't draft Sham Donald joke and
Speaker 1: Pat Turmer came out and said he he's comfortable with
Speaker 1: Kyle Lolett as his QB two. Yeah, so I read
Speaker 1: that full quote before Rotal World had it. If you
Speaker 1: were comfortable when you give him more reps as the
Speaker 1: number two. I was wondering he didn't look great, didn't
Speaker 1: look great in that final preseason game. Two or three
Speaker 1: interceptions in that one half is not good in big trouble. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: So fantasy owners number one and number two all off
Speaker 1: season long, selectly lady on Bell, and I remember last year,
Speaker 1: I think this exact show. I was like, are we
Speaker 1: concerned that Levyan Bell hasn't shown up yet? And everyone
Speaker 1: was like no. When he showed up the next day
Speaker 1: and it was no big deal. Yeah, he didn't get
Speaker 1: the full workload week one. By week two he had
Speaker 1: like forty tounches. So it was fine, But I think
Speaker 1: we have to bring up the question again. He did
Speaker 1: not report to camp on Labor Day. The first practice
Speaker 1: of the week will be tomorrow. Mike Tomas says he
Speaker 1: has not been in touch with Levy on Bell. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's just posturing or whatnot. Um Kevin Culvert,
Speaker 1: the GM of Pittsburgh, is disappointed in Levy on Bell.
Speaker 1: This seems a little bit more contentious than it was
Speaker 1: last year. At this time, are we reading anything into this? No?
Speaker 1: I think it's a legitimate story. Um, and you know
Speaker 1: we brought it up last week that Levion Bell we
Speaker 1: cut from this team, and you laughed at us. Just probably,
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's more coming out today. I like you mentioned,
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin said he hasn't been in contact with Levian Bell.
Speaker 1: But this can literally changed on the drop of a dime,
Speaker 1: Like Levian Bell just shows up and then I think
Speaker 1: we're good. Like you said, he's not gonna have the
Speaker 1: full workhorse in week one. I heard them talking about
Speaker 1: on Carton and Friends. Does he get twenty touches if
Speaker 1: he shows up now? Even if he shows up this week,
Speaker 1: I'd say probably not. I don't think he gets twenty touches.
Speaker 1: He didn't last year either, so he could get off
Speaker 1: to the slow start. But um, yeah, look, if you
Speaker 1: own Levian Belle, you need to own James Conner. And
Speaker 1: even if he's a free agent, if if your draft
Speaker 1: passed already, you gotta find a way to get this guy. Um.
Speaker 1: We actually I have a league where I drafted Levion
Speaker 1: Bell and I didn't get James Conner. What is you
Speaker 1: already owned? So I don't really have a backup plan here?
Speaker 1: What is your backup plan? But like, what is your
Speaker 1: level of fear right now? Because Leon Belly Tuesday on
Speaker 1: a scale of one to ten. Yeah, as a Levian Bellinger,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of scared really not owning James Conner. Um
Speaker 1: put it out like a five guy. What if he
Speaker 1: doesn't dhop tomorrow? What does that jump to? I think
Speaker 1: like every day goes up one number, so like Friday
Speaker 1: and he's not there and I don't own James Connor,
Speaker 1: And yeah, my panic level is the highest it could
Speaker 1: be because I don't have my first round pick who's
Speaker 1: just supposed to be my work horse running back. If
Speaker 1: you were drafting tonight, Todd Gurley goes number one, who
Speaker 1: do you take number two? You don't take PPR, David Johnson,
Speaker 1: anything else? All right? Then if you have number three,
Speaker 1: what do you do? Whoever didn't go between David Johnson
Speaker 1: and Zek Elliott? So what would you do at number four?
Speaker 1: And then and then it take James Conner later on?
Speaker 1: Make sure like even if you have to pull him
Speaker 1: off the board like five rounds early, don't care, ninth
Speaker 1: or tenth round. Take James Conner. The Someone tweeted me
Speaker 1: last night and said he had the fourth overall pick
Speaker 1: and he took Antonio Brown and Levian Bell was there
Speaker 1: and he didn't like the way the team turned out.
Speaker 1: It's so funny because this whole conversation, maybe it's completely
Speaker 1: moot by by tomorrow, by the time for an hour
Speaker 1: from now, by the time that you guys are listening
Speaker 1: to this undemand right, like it's for sure, But I
Speaker 1: think you have James Conner is a guy that we
Speaker 1: should be talking about for waivers as well, because he
Speaker 1: only owning fort of leagues. So if you are, you
Speaker 1: are not picking him up, even if I'm not a Levia.
Speaker 1: That was the question. Absolutely, what if something happens where
Speaker 1: Levian Bell just doesn't show up. There was a year
Speaker 1: where Vincent Jackson just held out for like half the season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's been no indications going to do that,
Speaker 1: And it doesn't make sense why he would do that
Speaker 1: because he's already indicated like, look, this is my last
Speaker 1: year in Pittsburgh, I'm gonna leave. But what if he's
Speaker 1: just like, screw the Steelers. You guys didn't want to
Speaker 1: give me the long term contract. All I wondered, what's
Speaker 1: financial security for everything I did for you guys? I'm
Speaker 1: not playing this year. It tell me to add James
Speaker 1: Conner just on the off chance that that happens. It
Speaker 1: sounds like, um, it sounds like that's obviously not the
Speaker 1: case of Vinca Jackson. This Khalil Mack would have been
Speaker 1: a Vinca Jackson potential guy, right, Like he didn't get
Speaker 1: the trade for Chicago, which will get you in a
Speaker 1: moment um. But Lavia Bell, there's I agree with you.
Speaker 1: There is seems legitimate reason to be nervous. I was
Speaker 1: nervous last year for not there's just tea leaves that
Speaker 1: are just like eating rappaport tweating, like here we go, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was a little bit different this year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that it's happening two years in
Speaker 1: a row. And I think last year someone asked me this,
Speaker 1: when did he report last year? And I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: it was the Friday before Labor Day? Was I think
Speaker 1: that's what it was. I couldn't find out exactly, but
Speaker 1: at this point last year he was in camp. He
Speaker 1: was there September one last year, So yeah, right today,
Speaker 1: September four, Labor Day last year wasn't September two. He
Speaker 1: reported on Labor Day or the day before Labor Day.
Speaker 1: Last year. He did not do that this time. I
Speaker 1: think you have to be slight there. I think of
Speaker 1: five is fair. And how much do you how much
Speaker 1: do you put on James Conner if you're the Levy
Speaker 1: on bellowner, if you're not the Levion bellowner, great question. Um,
Speaker 1: if I'm the Lady on Bell owner, if I'm the
Speaker 1: Leaving on Bill owner, I'm putting twelve on it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going I'm going to highest fifteen. That's what I
Speaker 1: was thinking. You don't want to have to blow it,
Speaker 1: but that ultimately that's your fault for not draft team.
Speaker 1: You should have draft him. Every every time we said, look,
Speaker 1: if you draft Levi on Bell, you also draft James Conner.
Speaker 1: If you draft Todd Girley, you also draft John Kelly,
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. If you draft David Johnson
Speaker 1: to make sure you get Chase Edmonds. So it's your
Speaker 1: fault you have to spend your fab for for not
Speaker 1: drafting James Conner. But if you didn't, you gotta go
Speaker 1: as highest fifteen percent if if you're not a Levi
Speaker 1: on bowner. Yeah, completely completely agree with that. Completely. That's
Speaker 1: where we're at hopefully by the time tomorrow he's there though,
Speaker 1: because I'm freaking out. Yeah, I get it, man, I
Speaker 1: I completely get it. I actually do have a draft
Speaker 1: to night. I'm very interested to see where leaving on
Speaker 1: Bell goes. I'd like, as you have video, i would
Speaker 1: love the pick seven the first round, lavis there, seven out,
Speaker 1: obviously take him. It won't happen, um crazy apps never know.
Speaker 1: I'm very interested to see though from my perspective, like
Speaker 1: where do I take if James kind of sitting there,
Speaker 1: do I take him and then have ransom potentially or
Speaker 1: it's a complete waste to pack? How early? Yeah? How early?
Speaker 1: That's that's a pick that could be completely basic. By's
Speaker 1: the top forty running back running backs go and you
Speaker 1: get into like that group that where they're just PPR
Speaker 1: like Theo Riddic, Geo Bernard guys like that, and like
Speaker 1: backup running backs to actually have a role on their team,
Speaker 1: like Doug Martin. Once you get outside the top forty,
Speaker 1: I think you can pull the trigger on James Conner
Speaker 1: and then, like you said, I mean the next couple
Speaker 1: of days. If I'm you, I'm just trying to trade
Speaker 1: him to the Levy on Bellowner holding, Yeah, that ransom,
Speaker 1: like you said, eight four four eight four three six
Speaker 1: eight seven nine's eight four four eight four three six
Speaker 1: eight seven nine. We mentioned Nathan Peterman starting for the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills against the Ravens. He's not the only backup
Speaker 1: quarterback they'll start. Nick Foles officially named the starter for Philly,
Speaker 1: and I think we kind of saw this coming over
Speaker 1: the last month. Frank, Yeah, Carson Wentz, he's getting closer.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised we see him in week two,
Speaker 1: maybe week three. Obviously after this game they have the
Speaker 1: ten days off, they'll play the following week. I believe
Speaker 1: it would be Sunday, right. I don't know if they
Speaker 1: have like another primetime game after that, but I don't
Speaker 1: think they do, so he has that time to get ready. UM,
Speaker 1: And we're getting a lot of questions about like Nelson
Speaker 1: Aglare Obviously should I start him. I've read something interesting
Speaker 1: about Aglare, UM is that obviously he played much better
Speaker 1: in the slot last year. UM, and they have stats
Speaker 1: to justify it, Like his slot numbers versus outside receiver
Speaker 1: numbers are drastically different. He was much better in the
Speaker 1: slot they're talking up the fact that this team can
Speaker 1: run out zach Ertz and Dallas got her a lot
Speaker 1: on Thursday night on this kind of go with like
Speaker 1: the duel tight end approach, whereas one of those guys
Speaker 1: will fill in as the slot receiver, which pushes Nelson
Speaker 1: Aglar to the outside where he will potentially be faced
Speaker 1: with Desmond trufefont Um. And he's just overall hasn't been
Speaker 1: as successful as an outside receiver. So I think Nelson
Speaker 1: Aglars kind of a polarizing player for a week one
Speaker 1: break Yeah, it's hard, It's it's hard. You know. Nick
Speaker 1: Foles is somebody that obviously the super he stepped up,
Speaker 1: and during that entire run he stepped up. But Nelson
Speaker 1: Aghaloor's entire resertain not even resurgence breakout really a better
Speaker 1: word came. Of course. Of course it wins as the quarterback.
Speaker 1: The Eagles in general are banged up, Like, I like
Speaker 1: the Falcons in this game. What's this? What is this spread?
Speaker 1: Right now? The Eagles are still minus two and a half,
Speaker 1: They're still minuston half. I don't know, it's hard not
Speaker 1: to like the Falcons. Falcon's money line, right that's not crazy.
Speaker 1: I think I might throw something on the Falcons right
Speaker 1: now are plus one fifteen. If you take the spread
Speaker 1: at plus two and a half, that's minus one fifteen.
Speaker 1: It's hard. You just take the money line at that
Speaker 1: point and just yeah, try and count on the Falcons
Speaker 1: winning this game. It's hard. Here has a chance they could,
Speaker 1: gets a pretty good chance. It's hard. It's hard, like
Speaker 1: an absolute dumpster fire. We saw the Super Bowl hangover
Speaker 1: last year when the New England patients got trounced by
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, like happened this year. To m
Speaker 1: I feel like the Falcons like things are good for them,
Speaker 1: that they're prepared. Defense looks solid. We're expecting Steve sarkisian
Speaker 1: Is offense to take the step. Everyone's healthy. Julio Jones
Speaker 1: came out yesterday. I mean, obviously this is I gues.
Speaker 1: It's not coach talk, it's player talk. But he said
Speaker 1: this is the healthiest he felt in two thousand fifteen.
Speaker 1: It's worthy Ullio Jones too. Everyone's everyone's health like the
Speaker 1: Falcons in this game. Love the Falcons in this game,
Speaker 1: so we're willed in this. I don't want to see him, Okay,
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, the starting quarterback this week for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: Speaking of old guys, Antonio Gates back with the Chargers
Speaker 1: very clearly did not want to be a training camp
Speaker 1: and now he's back. Was obviously interested to see what
Speaker 1: kind of shape Antonio Gates is in after an off
Speaker 1: season where he thought he would be retiring. Um, but
Speaker 1: you know, some people have actually already asked about how
Speaker 1: much fab do you spend on Antonio Gates, And to me,
Speaker 1: the answer is not much. I think he is a whatever,
Speaker 1: high end tight end two, especially in a standard league,
Speaker 1: streamer and touchdown dependent. Um. Yeah, you'll play him against
Speaker 1: teams that have struggled against tight ends obviously, but I
Speaker 1: still think this team is going to run a lot
Speaker 1: through Keelan Cole in the red zone. I think we're
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of Mike Williams, the draft pick
Speaker 1: from last year who was you know, should have a
Speaker 1: a very serious role in the red zone this year.
Speaker 1: And then they're gonna run the ball a lot. So
Speaker 1: I'm not sure there's gonna be many targets to go
Speaker 1: around for Antonio Gates. I think he's a solid tight
Speaker 1: end too. If you wanted to pick him up for depth,
Speaker 1: you know, three fab not much more than that. Okay,
Speaker 1: so there you go. That's with Antonio Gates. I agree.
Speaker 1: Is there any negativity? Does this do anything negative to
Speaker 1: Mike Williams right like he was supposed to be the
Speaker 1: big red zone guy Antonio Gates is back? No, I
Speaker 1: don't think so, because I think all along we kind
Speaker 1: of expected Antonio Gates to be back, or at least
Speaker 1: you know, we did on this show. Um and then
Speaker 1: I just I think Antonio Gates kind of takes the
Speaker 1: back seat this year. I don't think that. I don't
Speaker 1: think so. So you think this does affect Mike Wild
Speaker 1: Do I do? I think there's a you could say
Speaker 1: what you want about him taking a back seat. But
Speaker 1: we've seen Antonio Gates in this connection with Philip Rivers before,
Speaker 1: like it's been like this for a decade. Now, Antonio
Speaker 1: Gates immediately one more year older. I don't think it matters.
Speaker 1: I think Antonio Gates is literally only going to play
Speaker 1: in the red zone, Like you're not gonna see him
Speaker 1: on the field than outside of the twenties three sixteen
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns last year, Greag What Hunter Henry
Speaker 1: do though? The Hunter Henter is not there. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I think that's why I think a lot of the
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry production that we expected, a lot of that
Speaker 1: goes Mike Williams way. So I don't know, I think,
Speaker 1: I think. I think. I think Antonio Gates when it's
Speaker 1: all said and done the end of the season, he
Speaker 1: could have like five yards and five touchdowns. That's fine.
Speaker 1: But I think of a lot of what Hunter Henry
Speaker 1: did last year, plus what the second wide receiver did
Speaker 1: last year, whether it was Tyrolle Williams, Travis Benjamin, I
Speaker 1: think a lot of that goes towards Mike Willams. By
Speaker 1: the way, every buddy Jimmy Sands or at Vandal Love
Speaker 1: is Tyroll Williams this week. Yeah, it gets the Chiefs defense,
Speaker 1: who look absolutely brutal in the preseason. He's super, super cheap,
Speaker 1: especially for DFS. I don't I'm not picking him up
Speaker 1: and starting him in season long. I think that's getting
Speaker 1: a little bit too cute. But in DFS for I mean,
Speaker 1: what you expect likely a minimal price for Tyroll Williams.
Speaker 1: I could get behind that. As a GPP GPP play. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm more likely to put Mike Williams in my lineup
Speaker 1: in season long. If I were to put one, that
Speaker 1: makes sense. But I've I've always been all the old
Speaker 1: of the Mike Williams hype training. I completely understand. It
Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me. Like Tyler Williams starts at this number
Speaker 1: two wide receiver here, I think he's gonna start. I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna start. But I think we see a
Speaker 1: lot of three wide receiver sets here, um and I
Speaker 1: think as the season goes on, Mike Williams kind of
Speaker 1: takes over as this team's wide receiver two eight four
Speaker 1: four eight four three six seven. I a lot of
Speaker 1: those calls. But get to you guys right after the break.
Speaker 1: I referred to the Climac trade. Earlier on in the show,
Speaker 1: Max traded to the Bears. I guess it was on
Speaker 1: Friday now at this point, right, I think Saturday morning.
Speaker 1: Saturday morning, it was two first rounders and a third
Speaker 1: for Mac and a second. Is that correct? I know
Speaker 1: there was definitely two first round I believe it's two
Speaker 1: first and a third for Mac and a second. If
Speaker 1: you're a Jets fan, are you said that the Jets
Speaker 1: don't pull the trigger. Why are we talking about the
Speaker 1: Jets just saying this is nothing to do with the Jets.
Speaker 1: I know that does. They were kind of in the
Speaker 1: Clue Max sweeps. They were never giving this up. Agree
Speaker 1: with you don't want them to give this up. I
Speaker 1: don't think it. And I so here here's the thing
Speaker 1: with the Bank team. Well, I think you're yere. I
Speaker 1: think you're year away from this for the Jets, because
Speaker 1: I think what the Bears did is exactly what the
Speaker 1: Jets should do a year from now. You have an
Speaker 1: established young quarterback that makes nothing. This is the time
Speaker 1: where you have to go for it. This is how
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks want a Super Bowl. Is how you
Speaker 1: see that she one of the reasons she's got rid
Speaker 1: of Alex Smith. You open up so much cap space
Speaker 1: and availability to your team when you don't have a
Speaker 1: high price quarterback. You're seeing you with the Rams and
Speaker 1: Jarry Gopp how much how they're extending everybody, including Aaron Donald,
Speaker 1: who for a brief period time was the most highest
Speaker 1: paid defensive player in history. Now it's Khalil Mack, and
Speaker 1: I give the Bears credits for opening up their checkbooks
Speaker 1: and opening up their team. Uh to Mac and doing
Speaker 1: exactly what they had to do to go and get
Speaker 1: Khalil mack Um. The Vida's gonna suck? Are the Raiders
Speaker 1: gonna suck? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, you're you're now green old
Speaker 1: greening thing. No. I mean, I still like some of
Speaker 1: their offensive pieces, like for fantasy, I like Marshall Lynch,
Speaker 1: I like a Marii Cooper, But overall their defense is
Speaker 1: not good. You just traded away one of the best
Speaker 1: players in the league, and yeah, they were already not great, right,
Speaker 1: and then you trade away Khalil Max, So I think
Speaker 1: the defense is gonna be brutal. I still think the
Speaker 1: offensive players could do enough to be fantasy viable, but
Speaker 1: we expected at him. Yeah. Drie Nelson, by the way,
Speaker 1: do you while receiving more Davious Brant no longer on
Speaker 1: this team? Another head scratching move for John Gruden in
Speaker 1: the Bowl. Felli's older. I saw that. We'll be back
Speaker 1: with your calls and more. Waiver wire stop cut out next.

Speaker 1: eight four four eight four three six seven nine eight
Speaker 1: four four eight four three six eight seven nine. And
Speaker 1: if I was a listener, viewer, watcher of this program,
Speaker 1: I'd be so annoyed at the host, meaning me, because
Speaker 1: I did some thing. Now two years in a row, no,
Speaker 1: two years a round, they did it. Hit me. Last year,
Speaker 1: I drafted Alvin Kamara in an auction. All right, he's
Speaker 1: a good player, obviously now third string guy at the time.
Speaker 1: And you remember a handcuff that everybody was extremely high
Speaker 1: on last August. Mm hmm, no, coming the handcuff was
Speaker 1: Jonathan Williams. People love that Jonathan Williams and Buffalo. So
Speaker 1: I wound up cutting Alvin Kamara before this, long before
Speaker 1: the season started for Jonathan Williams. Of course, Jonathan Williams
Speaker 1: doesn't make the team and Alan Camara becomes Alan Camara.
Speaker 1: This year. I drafted mark Ingram in several places, as
Speaker 1: you know, and I wound up cutting someone for Jonathan Williams.
Speaker 1: I think I cut like Mike Wallace, so whatever, but
Speaker 1: I cut somebody a player that I drafted for Jonathan
Speaker 1: Williams because he was going to be the starter, and
Speaker 1: he looked good in the preseason and everyone talked to
Speaker 1: him up with New Orleans. Well, Jonathan Williams is once
Speaker 1: again cut after the preseason, and I officially believe, much
Speaker 1: like Jeff Janis, the fantasy community believes in this guy
Speaker 1: more than any NFL coach or any NFL organization does.
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, I will no longer be drafting or
Speaker 1: picking up Jonathan Williams anywhere, And as a mark Ingram owner,
Speaker 1: I sat here being like, what do I do now?
Speaker 1: Floria in our chat this weekend was talking up Boston Scott,
Speaker 1: and I honestly said, who the f is Boston Scott's
Speaker 1: he's the guy. He's gonna be the kick returner it
Speaker 1: looks like for New Orleans, and he was seemingly the
Speaker 1: guy that took Jonathan Williams job that lasted one day
Speaker 1: until the Saints went out and signed Mike Gillisly. If
Speaker 1: you're a mark Ingram owner, do you a pick up
Speaker 1: Boston Scott? Do you be pick up Mike Gillisly or
Speaker 1: do you see pick up neither of them? If I'm
Speaker 1: an Ingram war or inger own, If you're an Ingram
Speaker 1: owner that theoretically backed up Ingram with Jonathan Williams, what
Speaker 1: do you do? Yeah, so we have this dilemma. We
Speaker 1: are we own mark Ingram in the GSC League as
Speaker 1: Team BFF. Also, Scott looked pretty good in the preseason.
Speaker 1: He had twenty five rushes for a hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: one yards, four eight yards per tempt uh and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: This team went out and signed Mike Gillisle to a
Speaker 1: one year deal. I think he fits more of that
Speaker 1: mark Ingram rolls more so than Boston Scott does. I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody knows if I had to choose one
Speaker 1: and there's like no running backs on the waiver wire
Speaker 1: at all, that it's just like Baron and you know,
Speaker 1: you just want to drop Jonathan Williams. I would pick
Speaker 1: up Mike Gillis Lee, but I don't think that will
Speaker 1: really know who that mark Ingram replacement is until after
Speaker 1: week one. Yeah, so I think my answer to that
Speaker 1: is also Gillisle, right like I'm the Gillisle is gonna
Speaker 1: be a guy. I think he is the short yardage back.
Speaker 1: I think you see a ton of camera. But and
Speaker 1: stick with me. I remember it was a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago, Frank, that you were saying, maybe it wasn't
Speaker 1: even you, but people were saying, what if Ingram doesn't
Speaker 1: get his job back? What if there's this love eight
Speaker 1: thing continues with Sean Payton and Jonathan Williams all of
Speaker 1: a sudden becomes the man Jonathan Williams isn't on the
Speaker 1: team anymore, and maybe, sure, maybe Sean Payton will fall
Speaker 1: in love with Micullously. But I think if you drafted
Speaker 1: mark Ingram in that fifth or sixth round or wherever
Speaker 1: you have the draft him. I think you feel kind
Speaker 1: of comfortable right now that his role is pretty secure
Speaker 1: when he comes back. Yeah, I think that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Um it is. It is annoying that you only get
Speaker 1: Marking room one game for the first six weeks will
Speaker 1: taste because he has the four game suspension and they
Speaker 1: have a bye in week six. So so I used
Speaker 1: to be what I used to be like on that
Speaker 1: side of things. Also, like it bothers me you don't
Speaker 1: have him for first four weeks. Realistic, you don't have
Speaker 1: him for the first five of six weeks, and then
Speaker 1: you could be dead, and that's what I always said.
Speaker 1: But you're also like almost more equipped to handle that
Speaker 1: because however you handled Marking over the first four weeks,
Speaker 1: you can handle that and we six. Also like you're
Speaker 1: actually prepared for losing mark Ingram in week six rather
Speaker 1: than having to figure it out almost maybe you all
Speaker 1: have different players by them, but like we tend buy
Speaker 1: essentially you know, it's like nothing really changes. Ultimately, just
Speaker 1: go back to whatever you were doing in the first
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Fine, all good, and then if the
Speaker 1: entire shot round for weeks seven three year championship, you
Speaker 1: have Marketing Ram. I think there's gonna say for that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he should be high end r B two once
Speaker 1: he returns. But I do agree with you. Look, Jonathan
Speaker 1: Williams was getting talked up as the guy all these
Speaker 1: fantasy outlets we saw, we're talking him up once again,
Speaker 1: and it really came as a surprise that he got cut.
Speaker 1: So I think it's you know, Mike Gilliesle, Boston Scott,
Speaker 1: those are the next man up. But I think, you know,
Speaker 1: Boston Scott is probably more of that special teams player.
Speaker 1: We've already you know, referenced that and we've talked about that,
Speaker 1: so that will be his role on the team. There's
Speaker 1: certainly a chance that he does that he gets a
Speaker 1: few carries. But I think Mike Gillesle is closer to
Speaker 1: mark Ingram than Boston Scott is. So I would theoretically so,
Speaker 1: but again I don't know anything at Boston Scott, so
Speaker 1: I can be totally wrong with us more than the waiver.
Speaker 1: At a moment at eight four, four, four, three seven nine,
Speaker 1: let's hit up Caesar in Arizona. It's up Casar, Hey,
Speaker 1: what's up? What's going on? Dude? My question is about
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. I wanted to pick up two of
Speaker 1: these guys, DeVante Parker, Josh Dockson, Allison Crowder. So it's
Speaker 1: a great So you want two of those four. It's
Speaker 1: Johnama Allison, it's Jamison Crowder, it's Josh Dockson, and it's
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker. Four guys that we have seen on on
Speaker 1: waiver wires here at this time. I'm not four three
Speaker 1: of them we've seen a waiver wires pretty consistently. Jamison
Speaker 1: crowd is easy pick up for me, like you grab him,
Speaker 1: there's no question about that. Now when it comes to
Speaker 1: the other three, I think it's interesting. Davante Parker is
Speaker 1: always a name that's now there at the end of drafts, right,
Speaker 1: and you're like, man, at what point do I just
Speaker 1: do this? Josh Dockson, I haven't had any in clear
Speaker 1: feelings to be like, oh, let me do this. I
Speaker 1: want nothing to do with Josh Doxon this year. And
Speaker 1: then John will Allison's name I own everywhere. So my
Speaker 1: answer would be Jamison Crowder and John Will Allison pretty easily. Yep.
Speaker 1: And that's my answer as well. Some people are still
Speaker 1: hyping up Josh Dockson that it seems like standard league. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, So I mean, look, Josh Dockson, he is
Speaker 1: a standard play He's a guy that you expect to
Speaker 1: score some touchdowns. But Ronaldo Allison, he's one injury away
Speaker 1: from being a top thirty wide receiver. He legitimately does
Speaker 1: have that upside. Josh Dockson, I don't know that he
Speaker 1: fits the skill set of Alex Smith all that much.
Speaker 1: And I think the first three reason this offense on
Speaker 1: nearly every player going to be prouder whoever's playing tight
Speaker 1: end for this team. And Chris Thompson as the receiving back.
Speaker 1: I think you want a lot of Chris stops, and
Speaker 1: you want to they paid Paul Richardson too. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: I just think there's a lot of targets that I
Speaker 1: completely I'm not Josh Duson. Let's hit up heavy and
Speaker 1: Kentucky it's not heavy. What's up? What's going on? Hey?
Speaker 1: I'll just get a question. I got Matt Stafford and
Speaker 1: Grew Brees this week that Stafford or Drew Brees. It's
Speaker 1: Stafford on Monday night football against the Jets, and it's
Speaker 1: Breeze at home Sunday afternoon against Tamba. What do you think,
Speaker 1: Frank Yeah, I think there's a good question. I could
Speaker 1: see the Jets and Lions game being closer. Obviously that
Speaker 1: we mentioned the Saints are the biggest spread on the
Speaker 1: board right now. Their minds tense, so there's a chance
Speaker 1: that they just kind of like run the bucks into
Speaker 1: the ground and then just run the football. It's on.
Speaker 1: But given the fact that they're in the Dome, I'll
Speaker 1: still take Drew Brees, but I think it's pretty close.
Speaker 1: I think it's close. Also, I have Breeze ranked um
Speaker 1: HIRER to begin with, so I'll take Breese in general.
Speaker 1: But it's gonna match up Matthew Stafford against the Jets.
Speaker 1: And it's funny because one of my leagues I'm a
Speaker 1: little bit desperates and it's one of my more inger leagues. Frankie,
Speaker 1: um and thanks for the call, and I want um
Speaker 1: I'm starting theoretic asm now is that like ridiculous? And
Speaker 1: is it a full PPR? Now have pprs or what flexes?
Speaker 1: What are my two flexes? Alright? Well, yeah, two flexes.
Speaker 1: I could see him being a second flex. Look, the
Speaker 1: Jets have never been great at covering. I think he's
Speaker 1: arguably my first flex alright. Well, look, I don't think
Speaker 1: you feel great about it, obviously that's why you're asking me.
Speaker 1: But the Jets have never been great at covering, receiving
Speaker 1: running backs, pass catching running backs out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: So yes, they drafted, not drafted. They signed Avery Williamson
Speaker 1: to help that Winebacker Corps to kind of help store
Speaker 1: up um covering running backs, but he did not practice today,
Speaker 1: so keep an eye on that. I think it's okay
Speaker 1: as a flex. You don't feel great, you don't love it,
Speaker 1: you don't hate it. I think it's all right. Yeah. Actually,
Speaker 1: and speaking of some of the notes from this weekend,
Speaker 1: Jordan Wilkins, it certainly seems like it's going to be
Speaker 1: the starter for Indianapolis here this weekend. He was kind
Speaker 1: of put on ice during that fourth preseason game. Marlon
Speaker 1: Mack does not look like you're ready to go. Um.
Speaker 1: I've read a lot about Christen Michael and Jordan Wilkins.
Speaker 1: Would you feel comfortable study any of those guys? Either
Speaker 1: of those guys are I think I think Jordan Wilkins
Speaker 1: is in the flex discussion, but kind of similar to
Speaker 1: THEO Rick, I don't feel great about it. I think
Speaker 1: it's more like a wait and see approaching other options.
Speaker 1: I could start Michael Gallup, O don't like that, like
Speaker 1: that one like Star is not very good. Start Matthews
Speaker 1: and to see against my I like that too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like both of those options better than Wilkins Ridick Uh.
Speaker 1: I might keep Riddeck in there. Again with Wilkins, I'd
Speaker 1: rather I'd rather take a wait and see approach. The
Speaker 1: offensive line did not look good for run blocking in
Speaker 1: the preseason. I kind of want to see how the
Speaker 1: Colt's offense just comes out this weekend. I don't really
Speaker 1: want to start Joan Wilkins in the first week. You
Speaker 1: start Dante Moncrief, it's Jones, or I would start Matthews
Speaker 1: or Gallop over Wilkens. Or I could start my guy,
Speaker 1: your guy, Gnom Allison. Now I'm not doing that, idiot,
Speaker 1: So maybe I'll start with other Matthews we have. Matthews
Speaker 1: is more of a question mark because you just didn't
Speaker 1: see him all appreciate really what the deal is with
Speaker 1: Gallup I think my opinion, I think him and Herns
Speaker 1: are cemented as the outside wide receivers from this team,
Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley in the does it matter yes, I
Speaker 1: don't think. So okay, I don't think this team go
Speaker 1: out and drafts Michael Gallup if they really loved Terrence Williams.
Speaker 1: The same thing goes for Allan Herns. Why do they
Speaker 1: sign him if they like Terence Willips. Rince Williams is
Speaker 1: a bump command I believe me. I I know that.
Speaker 1: But the Panthers secondary sucks, so I understand wanting to
Speaker 1: get some exposure in that matchup. Alright, so it's other
Speaker 1: so other Galliper Wilkins, you say for me? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess it makes sense. Eight four four eight four three
Speaker 1: six seven nine's eight four or four eight four three
Speaker 1: six eight seven nine. Before we take any more calls,
Speaker 1: I wanna say about our YouTube audience, Rankie. We appreciate
Speaker 1: you watching. We we appreciate obvious support. UM. Tomorrow we
Speaker 1: will combine with the Fantasy Football Frenzy for our last
Speaker 1: draft of the season. It'll be a best ball draft
Speaker 1: and we're in it. A bunch of you guys are
Speaker 1: in its way. Thank you, UM, and we'll see tomorrow. Friends,
Speaker 1: of course is next. If you're listening on YouTube, if
Speaker 1: you're listening on iTunes, on your podcast, you're listening live
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Know that we're going
Speaker 1: with another five minutes or so. We're here for the
Speaker 1: next five minutes of fantasy football frenzies. Next, subscribe to
Speaker 1: the Podka ask give us a light rate US five stars,
Speaker 1: and of course leave a comment. Week one waiver Wire,
Speaker 1: we mentioned a bunch of them. We mentioned out for
Speaker 1: Morris and matth Brita and James Conner. I mentioned Rochard
Speaker 1: Matthews just a moment ago. He's available in over sixty
Speaker 1: Oh but CBS dot com leagues, are you buying Richard
Speaker 1: Matthews to a certain extent? I don't think he has
Speaker 1: the same role in this passing game as he has
Speaker 1: in years past. I think we're all kind of expecting
Speaker 1: Corey Davis to take that next step. We were expecting
Speaker 1: that last year too, So there's always a chance for
Speaker 1: Richard Matthews. He seems like the go to guy for
Speaker 1: Mariota alongside the Laney Walker. I'm not putting much down
Speaker 1: on him, but in a few leagues where he's available,
Speaker 1: I've put down three or four dollar bids out of
Speaker 1: a hundred dollars, just as you know, like a wide
Speaker 1: receiver six on my team like a third benchnch wide receiver. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think you could do a lot worse
Speaker 1: than him as your third bench wide receiver. I'm kind
Speaker 1: of interesting, like potentially in starting him this week against Miami,
Speaker 1: because there is a connection with him in Mariota, and
Speaker 1: I think as long as he's healthy, you know he's
Speaker 1: gonna be out there, he'll he'll give you something. So
Speaker 1: I kind of like him. Also of note for Tennessee,
Speaker 1: Lanny Walker has stated he will play this week. He's
Speaker 1: been out most of the training camp with a tell
Speaker 1: andre I will say, I think Chardon macach is probably
Speaker 1: safer for week one, but Gallup is the upside playing
Speaker 1: fair enough, let's meat ball in San Francisco. What's up?
Speaker 1: What's up? Guys? Hey, I got a question. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you already touched on the whole Levy on Levy on
Speaker 1: Bell situation. But uh so, I've got him and Marshawn's starting.
Speaker 1: It's a twelve team week. The waiver wires a bearing,
Speaker 1: and on my bench, I kind of got guys are
Speaker 1: either injured or kind of scrubbies. I've got Ronald Jones,
Speaker 1: Rashan Penny, uh John Kelly and who else do I have.
Speaker 1: I think that might be it right now. So I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to think of who I could do in
Speaker 1: a flyer in a twelve team PPR league. We need
Speaker 1: to start one of these guys, are you saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I could pick someone up, but just about
Speaker 1: everybody's gone, gosh, um, yeah, I mean we don't even
Speaker 1: know what Hood Penny's role is going to be in
Speaker 1: week one. Same thing could be said for Ronald Jones. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if I if I had to choose one of them,
Speaker 1: it would probably be Ronald Jones, but I don't even
Speaker 1: know what he's gonna do in Week one. Might say
Speaker 1: it's Penny just coming back from the injury going up
Speaker 1: against the Denver Broncos. Dude, do we know that Ronald
Speaker 1: Jones is ahead of because Rogers on the start, I
Speaker 1: don't even know that we could say that, I guess,
Speaker 1: but we don't like any of these guys. If you could,
Speaker 1: if you could find out who's on your free agency
Speaker 1: and call back and let us know, or just tweet
Speaker 1: at me at roto underscore Frank and and let me
Speaker 1: know who's on your waiver wire, because I think there
Speaker 1: has to be somebody anybody where you can start over
Speaker 1: one of these guys, whether it's just like a PPR
Speaker 1: pass catching bag, or take a shot on like a
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill. You know what I mean that we haven't
Speaker 1: mentioned yet, Greg, Do you have any interest in Jeremy
Speaker 1: Hill as like a when you're three or four running
Speaker 1: backs on your bench. I'm not doing Jeremy all day
Speaker 1: until Week one where scores three toushdowns, and then I'll
Speaker 1: worry abut Jeremy Huh. I think he's clearly behind every
Speaker 1: single runing back we've mentioned today as a waiver edge,
Speaker 1: even behind the New Orleans Saints guys. But if you're
Speaker 1: in a deeper league where maybe you own Burkehead or
Speaker 1: you own Sony Michelle, I take a shot on Jeremy Hill.
Speaker 1: They chose to cut Mike Gillisle and keep Jeremy Um
Speaker 1: and they were they were talking about during the preseason
Speaker 1: as but Jeremy Hill, Mike, like Mike Gillisy last year,
Speaker 1: maybe an acting on game day, he may be an
Speaker 1: active on Sunday. Yeah. I mean you'll know that early
Speaker 1: in the morning. If that's the case, drop him. This
Speaker 1: is a deeper league. Throw it out there, Greg, see
Speaker 1: what happens. Yeah, Um, it's funny. Other players out there,
Speaker 1: they know the Cartner friends this morning was John Ross
Speaker 1: that people like are excited because John Ross has the pedigree.
Speaker 1: We still get a little bit about him throughout the summer.
Speaker 1: You just stashing John Ross just to see what you have? Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, I think he is a deeper statue's behind.
Speaker 1: I almost consider him a rookie because he didn't do
Speaker 1: anything last year. But I would I think he's behind
Speaker 1: some of those other names that we've talked about Gallup,
Speaker 1: DJ Moore, Courtland Sutton. I think those guys have more
Speaker 1: of an immediate impact. But he's in that range and
Speaker 1: he's like a stash wide receiver who has upside. So
Speaker 1: I would rank him behind all those guys. I will
Speaker 1: say this week one against the Colts, I would start
Speaker 1: him over any of the players that b Ball just
Speaker 1: asked us about. I agree, Yeah, take a shot, take
Speaker 1: a shot. There's a fifty touch. Start him over a
Speaker 1: guy like Jordan Wilkins. No, I wouldn't do that. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't go that far, but I would start Gallop over
Speaker 1: John Ross. Was a gallop over John Ross? Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: you mentioned off the air to me when I start
Speaker 1: the Bears defense this week, they're only fifty percent of
Speaker 1: the leagues. Of course, they just acquired to Cleil mac
Speaker 1: and frank you were read in the front seven. I
Speaker 1: mean it's really really good. Would you start him this week?
Speaker 1: I don't think you can against Green pay No. No.
Speaker 1: I think this is another wait and see approach, and
Speaker 1: it sucks because you want to own a defense with
Speaker 1: this much talent, and you can't really statch a defense
Speaker 1: because then owning two defenses is kind of wonky um.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of town on the defensive. I'm
Speaker 1: not starting the week one against the package. I can't
Speaker 1: do it. There you go, We're done. Coming next Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Frenzy Jim Day Chris Ventuan of course a fantasy
Speaker 1: executive Poory Parson for Frankie Standuple. My name is Greg Susman.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for watching listening to the Fantasy
